Those who continue to trend lower in their results must engage in a number of actions to include:
Offering free tutoring and additional services to struggling students in the third year.
Changing the staff, curriculum, the administration and introducing other sweeping reforms during year four.
Turing the facility into a charter school, having the state takeover or hiring a private company to run the institution in the fifth year.
These different elements are showing how the No Child Left Behind Act is focusing on using testing and market forces to deal with the problems inside the education system. ("No Child Left Behind Act," 2004)
Analyze and discuss how the No Child Left Behind Act provides illustration of the connection between ideology and educational philosophy
The market-based ideology is working in conjunction with the No Child Left Behind Act. The way that this is occurring is through having measurable standards (which are higher). Then, they are using various tests to determine the progress and quality of education that is provided by different schools....
("No Child Left Behind Act," 2004)
This is used to decide if a facility needs to make dramatic changes. At first this is taking place, by offering more services and allowing the staff to make adjustments. However, when the fourth and fifth years arise, is the point that the institution could be ran by private entity or change into charter school. ("No Child Left Behind Act," 2004)
This is showing how there is a direct connection between these provisions of the
law and the ideology / educational philosophy. The way that this is occurring is through increasing accountability and standards for all schools. Those who continually fail to underperform will have an opportunity to address these problems. ("No Child Left Behind Act," 2004)
After they do not to correct these issues, is when the facility will change by becoming a charter school or a private entity. This is directly following the market-based ideology and philosophy by having higher standards to hold all
public schools accountable. In the future, this is supposed to improve quality and give parents greater choices in the type of education that is offered to students. ("No Child Left Behind Act," 2004)
